The old-school reindeer head on the wall might be synonymous with Christmas of a bygone era, but that doesn't mean we need to forget that entertaining time of the past, instead we've left our taxidermy days behind us and have option for this modern version of the animal bust.

It's a lot more welcoming for our animal rights activist friends and it doesn't creep us out every time we walk passed it. It's a modern and minimalist approach to an old-fashion train of thought and would make a perfectly welcome addition to any dinner party where you can expect vegan guests or just environmentally conscious people.
